“Catholics believe that Mary became sinless, and became a god...”

Mary did not become sinless - she was sinless at her conception because the vessel to carry Jesus must be perfectly pure- Think about the purification rituals of the Jews - the womb carrying God has to be sinless. Mary is the ark of the new covenant - if a sinner even looked at the ark of the covenant they died - that is how important this purity is.

Mary did not become a god - no catholic believes that ever!!

Mary became the Mother of God, not a God or Goddess herself. This is a false premise of what the Church actually teaches.

No, Mary was not sinless.

Mary was a sinner, just like you and me. She proclaimed that fact herself (or did she lie?)
